DPDK PERFORMANCE TESTS - - *MRR tests* - Maximum Receive Rate tests measure the packet forwarding rate - under the maximum load offered by traffic generator over a set trial - duration, regardless of packet loss. MRR tests are used for continuous - performance trending and for comparison between releases. + - Fixed DPDK compilation on ARM systems. - - *MLR tests* - NDR and PDR tests measure the packet forwarding rate using - MLRsearch library by traffic generator. All tests that previously used - binary search were converted to MLRsearch. +#. DPDK RELEASE VERSION CHANGE - - *2-node tests* - Set of 2-node tests covering testpmd and l3fwd. + - |csit-release| tested |dpdk-release|, as used by |vpp-release|. - - Increased coverage of NIC specific tests (Intel-xxv710-da2, Intel-x710) - - - *Generated tests* - Simplified and unified test structure, - semi-autogenerated by generator script. Test generator is currently able - to create test combinations with various frame size and cores combinations. - All existing test cases were converted to new format. - - -Performance Changes -------------------- - -Relative performance changes in measured packet throughput in |csit-release| -are calculated against the results from |csit-release-1| -report. Listed mean and standard deviation values are computed based on -a series of the same tests executed against respective DPDK releases to -verify test results repeatability, with percentage change calculated for -mean values. -
